"Get ready to fight!" Yang Peng shouted loudly. The heavy-shielded spearmen put down their shields and leveled their spears, their flintlocks were ready to go, the hoplites were ready to charge, and the 50,000-strong army was ready. More than half of the soldiers looked a little nervous. These soldiers were new recruits without any combat experience.
The Liao army stopped one mile ahead and formed a battle formation. The infantry was in the center, forming a fish scale formation, with the Liao Kingdom's heavy armored cavalry Tielin Army at the rear, and 40,000 to 50,000 light cavalry on both wings. The 150,000-strong army was filled with darkness and murderous intent. Suddenly, the flag of the Liao army commander moved forward and came to the front of the military formation. The heroic figure under the commander's banner was clearly Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom. On her left and right sides were lined up more than twenty tough Liao army generals.
The Song army formation separated, and a mighty Song army general rode out, came to the middle of the two armies, stood up with his spear drawn, and shouted: "I am Huyan Chijin, the pioneer officer under General Yulin, who dares to fight with me!" A majestic Liao general with disheveled hair and a beard covered with steel needles immediately rode out on horseback with a big ax in hand and shouted in Khitan: "I'm here to take your life!"
Huyan Chijin couldn't understand the other party's words. Seeing that the other party was approaching fiercely, he couldn't help but get excited and rode his horse to meet him. When the two cavalry met, the Liao general swung his axe, and the tiger and the tiger were in full swing. Shi Wengong was taken aback, and swung his spear to deflect the opponent's powerful and heavy blow, with a loud bang! The two sides passed each other, ran dozens of steps, and turned their horses' heads. The Liao general yelled and rushed towards him with a big ax like an angry black bear. Huyan Chijin shouted loudly and charged forward with a spear!
The two sides fought another move, the sound shook the sky, and then they stuck together and fought fiercely, and they were inextricably killed. The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but get excited, and shouts came and went.
Xiao Duli, who immediately stood next to Empress Dowager Xiao, exclaimed: "I have never seen this person before, and he can actually fight to a tie with the most brave general in our country!" It turned out that the Liao general who had an indistinguishable fight with Huyan Chijin in the field, It turned out to be the most brave general of the Liao Kingdom, Arich. This man was born with supernatural power and had courage beyond all belief. He had served as a vanguard many times in the previous confrontations with the Xixia Kingdom. Many Xixia Kingdom generals died under his axe. He was definitely a terrifying person to fear. figure.
"Your Highness, I'm going to help Arich." A Liao general wearing a fur hat and a beard curled around his mouth said. Then he was seen riding out on horseback. But he did not enter the battlefield. He reined up his horse from a distance, took out the crossbow arrows, buckled the string, loaded the crossbow arrows, and aimed at Huyan Chijin, who was fighting with Aliqi in the distance. Seeing that his opponent was about to fire a hidden arrow, Li Xu immediately rushed out and shouted: "Sister Huyan Chijin, be careful!" At this moment, the Liao general pulled the trigger, and saw a black shadow facing Huyan Chijin's rear. Fly away quickly!
Because Li Xu warned him, Huyan Chijin heard the sound of wind coming from behind him, and knew that someone had fired a hidden arrow, so he immediately fell back. Almost at the same time, an arrow flew past Huyan Chijin. As Li Xu galloped, he bent his bow and shot an arrow at the guy who fired the hidden arrow. The Liao general suddenly heard the wind and saw an arrow flying in front of his eyes. He was shocked and wanted to avoid it, but his body refused to obey. Snapped! The arrow hit his left eye, and he screamed, turned over and fell down. When the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom saw this scene, they couldn't help but change their colors in horror!
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her right hand, and the war drums rumbled loudly. This was a precursor to the Liao army's charge. Arich quickly feinted a shot, then turned his horse's head and ran back to the military formation. Huyan Chijin did not dare to pursue him and rode his horse back to the military formation. Empress Dowager Xiao waved her right hand forward, and the 30,000 Liao army infantry lined up in three large square formations and pressed towards the Song army! The shield bearers formed a shield wall in front, followed by Ru Lin's spears, and five or six thousand crossbowmen. Thirty thousand people moved in unison, shouting step by step, and their momentum was like a rainbow!
Yang Peng raised his right hand, and all the fusiliers raised their flintlock guns. The Liao army gradually approached, and their faces could almost be seen clearly! Yang Peng suddenly put down his right hand. Nearly ten thousand flintlock guns fired together. In an instant, the sound of gunfire covered the sky and the earth became dark! Bullets fell into the middle of the Liao army like a rainstorm, making a crackling sound, and many Liao soldiers were shot to the ground. The crossbowmen in the Liao army immediately fired back, raining arrows into the Song army, and many Song soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
At the same time, five thousand light cavalry were sent out from each wing of the Liao army, roaring towards the two wings of the Song army. They did not directly charge into the formation, but used their riding and archery skills to attack the two wings of the Song army. Although the Song army was on guard, many people still fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The Song Army's flintlock firepower was inevitably transferred to the two wings, so the Liao Army infantry in the front took this opportunity to spread out and rush towards the Song Army's formation. For a time, the Liao Army was seen all over the mountains and fields!
The Liao army hit the Song army's defense line like a wave, making a loud rumble, just like a wave hitting a dam. Seeing this 'embankment' began to concave inwards, it became intertwined. Suddenly, the 'embankment' opened several openings on its own, and thousands of sturdy infantrymen wearing heavy armor and holding swords roared into the enemy army. The leader was Duan Zhixian, who looked like an ancient monster. Thousands of people, like thousands of ferocious beasts, caused a rain of blood in the middle of the enemy army. The flying Mo Dao was shimmering with cold light, and the rain of blood was flying in the sky. In the blink of an eye, they actually contained the Liao army's offensive.
However, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse, because there were too many enemy troops, and they were also very crazy, waving steel knives and spears desperately, and roaring hysterically. At this moment, the horns of the Liao Army sounded loudly again, and the main force of the Liao Army moved, approaching the Song Army from three directions, like a huge machine that could crush everything! Their target is the nearly 50,000 Song Army troops in front of them!
Huyan Chijin said anxiously: "General, there are too many enemy troops, retreat quickly!" Yang Peng frowned. Huyan Chijin, who was next to him, said anxiously: "We can't withdraw! In the current situation, if we retreat hastily, the consequences will be disastrous!" Huyan Chijin said angrily: "Will there be any different results if we don't withdraw?" Huyan Chijin could not answer his question. .
Yang Peng glanced at the heroic figure in the distance, narrowed his eyes, turned to the crowd and said: "Cheng Shijie, Huyan Chijin, Zhou Dayong, you follow me, Li Xu, you command for me, once the enemy retreats, we will definitely Don't hesitate, retreat immediately!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Yang Peng raised his spear and shouted: "All cavalry, follow me!" Immediately, Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie, Huyan Chijin, and Zhou Dayong led more than 3,000 cavalrymen to rush out of the military formation and actually went against the enemy's torrent. Go up! He suddenly penetrated through the gap between the enemy troops and rushed towards Empress Dowager Xiao with the momentum of never looking back!
Empress Dowager Xiao was startled and immediately raised her right hand, and more than a thousand of her tent-protecting cavalry rushed forward to meet her. The two sides collided with each other. The Liao army waved their scimitars, and the Song army waved their horses. The swords came and went, with a clang and a killing sound. The soldiers of both sides fell off their horses one after another! The four Yang Peng were like the gods of death. There was no general in their path, and they saw the Liao army officers and soldiers splattered with blood under their swords!
The Liao army's tent-protecting cavalry was defeated, and the Song army's cavalry attacked Empress Dowager Xiao like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. All the soldiers quickly protected Empress Dowager Xiao and ran away, while the Song Army's cavalry chased after her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was in danger, the main force of the Liao army did not care to attack the Song army, and turned around to come to support. Song Jun, who was originally under great pressure, was finally relieved. Chen Jie said anxiously: "Go and support brother!" Li Xu immediately stopped Chen Jie: "No! Brother told us when he left that once the enemy retreats, we will withdraw to Shunzhou without hesitation."
Chen Jie said anxiously: "Don't care about the elder brother!" Li Xu frowned and said: "I think the elder brother has his own plans..." Duan Zhixian shouted angrily: "I think you are just afraid of death! If you don't go, yesterday's house Go!" Then he shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, if you are not afraid of death, follow me to save my elder brother!" The soldiers started to commotion, some shouted excitedly, while others were very hesitant.
Li Xu ran to Duan Zhixian and stopped him, "Brother Duan, don't be reckless! Brother Duan gave a strict order when he left. Once the enemy withdraws, we must retreat. We cannot disobey Brother Duan's order! If Brother Duan doesn't believe it, you can ask other people. Brother Duan ordered it." At that time, everyone heard it!”
Duan Zhixian glanced at the others, who nodded. Duan Zhixian frowned and cursed angrily: "What kind of order is this!" Li Xu said: "Brother Duan, we can't disobey the order of the eldest brother! The eldest brother must have his arrangements. If we act without permission, I'm afraid it will disturb the eldest brother. plan of!"
Duan Zhixian hesitated for a moment, slammed his staff on the ground, and said angrily: "Retreat, retreat!" Seeing this, Li Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Duan Zhixian insisted on supporting his elder brother. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "The whole army listens to the order and returns to Shunzhou immediately!" The soldiers of the Song Army turned around at that time and ran towards Shunzhou at full speed.
The war cavalry led by Yang Peng and others caught up with Queen Mother Xiao and the others, and a fierce and bloody melee ensued. The Song army desperately tried to kill Empress Dowager Xiao, while the Liao army tried its best to protect her. The soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives, just like two groups of crazy beasts fighting bloody battles on the grassland! Chen Xiao was only a dozen meters away from Queen Mother Xiao, and he could already clearly see her beautiful and resolute face! The two looked at each other, and an inexplicable feeling surged in their hearts.
At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came from behind. Yang Peng shot away a Liao general and looked back, only to see the Liao army's war cavalry coming from all over the mountains and fields, and dozens of Yuan and Liao generals running at full speed with strange screams. No time! Yang Peng turned to look at Empress Dowager Xiao, placed his spear across the saddle, took out his bow and arrow, pointed it at Empress Dowager Xiao over the moon, and released his fingers. There was a buzzing sound, and the arrow turned into a meteor and flew away. At this moment, a personal officer suddenly rushed in front of Empress Dowager Xiao. With a snap, the arrow hit the Liao Army officer's chest, and he was seen heading towards Then he fell under the horse.
Yang Peng cursed, immediately took out another arrow, put it on the bowstring, and bent the bow to the full moon. At this moment, a Liao Army officer rushed from one side with a strange scream. Yang Peng was distracted for a moment and missed the shot. The powerful arrow whizzed past the head of Queen Mother Xiao, scattering Queen Mother Xiao's hair, and her hair was flying in the wind. Empress Dowager Xiao was slightly moved, feeling that she must kill this Song general.
Yang Peng turned sideways to avoid the scimitar coming from one side, quickly grabbed his opponent's wrist with his right hand, and pulled hard. The Liao Army officer immediately lost his balance and fell down from his horse. At this time, countless Liao army cavalry and dozens of Yuan and Liao generals rushed forward. There was a bloody melee between the two sides, and the Song army was beaten to pieces by the Liao army. …
In the evening, Yang Peng led a dozen cavalrymen who were running wildly toward the northwest. They didn't know where they were. On the right were rolling mountains, on the left were endless plains, and there was a river in the distance. Loud rumbling noises came from behind them, and thousands of Liao army cavalry were chasing after them. The leaders were Liao army general Xiao Duoli and others.
The Liao army's horses were superior to those of the Song army, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. The Liao army's cavalry fired arrows one after another, and seven or eight cavalry fell from their horses. Yang Peng put down his horse, took out his bow, turned around and shot Xiao Duli with an arrow. Xiao Duoli didn't expect this arrow at all. By the time he realized the danger, it was already too late. The arrow had already flown very close to him! Xiao Duoli was horrified and quickly dodged, but failed to completely dodge. He only heard a pop sound and the arrow hit his left chest heavily. Xiao Duoli felt the world was spinning, turned over and fell from his horse.
When all the officers and soldiers of the Liao Army saw this, they were so frightened that they no longer cared about pursuing Chen Xiao and the others. They quickly stopped and rescued Xiao Duoli. Xiao Duoli glanced at Yang Peng and the others who were quickly walking away, and said urgently: "Leave me alone! Chase them, chase them! Don't let Yang Peng run away!"
Long Teduo said to Xiao Ying: "You stay and take care of the general, I will catch up." Xiao Ying nodded. Longteduo immediately led a large group of cavalry to continue the pursuit. Soon after, they caught up with Yang Peng and the others in a forest more than ten miles away. There was a fierce melee between the two sides, and most of Yang Peng's cavalry were killed. Yang Peng also fought hard and failed, but he was rushed out of the encirclement, and Long Teduo almost died in his hands. …
Yang Peng was lying on the horse's back, his body covered with scars, holding a blood-stained spear in his hand; the black horse under him was walking slowly by a creek. On the right is a stretch of deep mountain forest, on the left is a creek, and on the opposite side of the creek is a rolling hilly meadow. The horse stopped, and Yang Peng rolled off the horse in a daze, lying on his back on the ground. He vaguely saw the twinkling stars, and he didn't know if it was a dream. The eyes gradually darkened, and soon after, Chen Xiao lost all consciousness.
At this moment, a man on horseback came out of the dense forest on the right. The man was also riding a black horse, with a slender and graceful figure, and a black outfit that made his figure extremely sexy. His black hair was tied into a ponytail on the back of his head, reflecting the light of the stars; his face was covered with a veil, I can't see her appearance clearly, but judging from her curved eyebrows and bright eyes, she must be a beauty; she carries a long sword on her back, and a bow and a pot of arrows hanging on the saddle.
The masked woman looked at the unconscious Chen Xiao and frowned, seeming very hesitant. After a moment, she got off her horse and walked slowly towards Chen Xiao. She held the sword in her right hand and slowly pulled it out, with murderous intent clearly showing in her eyes. When she walked in front of Chen Xiao, she hesitated and suddenly put the sword back into its scabbard. He bent down and carried Chen Xiao onto his horse, then led the horse back to his own horse, got on his horse, and led Yang Peng's horse towards the south. …
Yang Peng slowly opened his eyes and vaguely saw a pile of fire. There seemed to be a person sitting next to the fire. After a while, Yang Peng's consciousness became much clearer and he found that he was in a dense forest, surrounded by tall pine and camphor trees. He was leaning on the trunk of a pine tree; a bonfire was lit less than two meters in front of him. Sitting beside the bonfire was a woman in black clothes and a mask. Her face could not be seen clearly, but her figure and eyebrows made Chen Xiao feel that she must be a rare beauty.
"Who are you? Did you save me?" Yang Peng asked. The masked woman turned to look at him, her eyes gleaming with hatred. She stood up and walked to Yang Peng. He pulled out the sword on his back, put it on Yang Peng's neck, and said coldly: "I never thought about saving you, I want to kill you to avenge my relatives!"
Yang Peng stared at the woman with hatred in her eyes and suddenly smiled, "You are Han Bing. I remember your smell and your voice." The masked woman frowned, raised her left hand and took off her veil, her eyebrows Picturesque, yet heroic, it was Han Bing who had assassinated him. "Yes, it's me! Remember who killed you!"
Yang Peng looked at Han Bing and said in a voice that sounded like a nightmare: "Kill me, you do have a reason to kill me! I won't hate you!" Han Bing put his sword on Yang Peng's neck, frowning Wrinkled. She saw that there was no fear in Yang Peng's eyes, but only guilt and pity, as if he was pitying a child who had lost a relative.
Suddenly, Han Bing removed his sword and stood up. Looking at Yang Peng, he said coldly: "Although I, Han Bing, am just a prostitute, I don't bother to take advantage of others' danger." He put the sword back into its scabbard and said proudly: "I will wait for you to recover from your injury before I come to take your life! Yang Peng smiled and said, "By then, I'm afraid you won't have a chance!"
"Huh! You'll probably die!" She walked to her horse, opened a small leather bag, took out two steamed buns, threw one of them into Yang Peng's arms, and then sat down by the campfire. Start eating. Yang Peng struggled to pick up the steamed bun, took a bite, and frowned, "It's too dry. Bake it."
Han Bing said angrily: "This is not your general's mansion, how can there be so much exquisiteness!" But a moment later, Han Bing baked steamed buns for Yang Peng and threw the steamed buns into Yang Peng's arms angrily. , said angrily: "Is it okay now?"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Thank you." Han Bing snorted and ate by himself. Yang Peng suddenly frowned and covered his chest with his left hand. Han Bing noticed that something seemed wrong with Yang Peng, so he quickly stood up and came to him, and asked angrily: "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Pengqiang smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing!" Han Bing saw a wound on the armor on Chen Xiao's chest. She had not noticed it before, because Yang Peng's whole body seemed to be covered in blood. If he had not been very careful, there would have been no wound at all. I couldn't notice the wound. Judging from the damage to the armor, it seemed that it was caused by a weapon such as a spear.
Han Bing immediately tore off Yang Peng's armor and saw a bloody mess on his left chest, which was very seriously injured. Han Bing was taken aback and said angrily: "Such a serious injury! Why didn't you tell me?" Then he ran to her horse and took out a few bottles of golden sore medicine from the leather pocket.
Putting down the medicine bottle, he knelt in front of Yang Peng, and then took off all Yang Peng's armor and shirt. Looking at Yang Peng's upper body, she was stunned. The criss-crossing scars on Chen Xiao's body shocked her deeply! "You, on your body...?!"
Yang Peng smiled palely, "I have been a soldier for almost ten years, and I have gained nothing but scars all over my body." Han Bing couldn't help but be moved, and glanced at Yang Peng, something inexplicable flashed across his beautiful eyes. Taste, "You are really experienced in hundreds of battles!" Yang Peng chuckled and couldn't help but murmured: "The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and I swear I won't return it if I don't break Loulan."
Han Bing's heart was moved. He lowered his head and began to treat Yang Peng's wounds carefully. After a lot of effort, it was finally bandaged. Han Bing wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, raised his head, and found that Yang Peng had fallen asleep with his head sideways. He is so tired!
Han Bing was stunned for a moment, then quickly took his robe and covered him with it. Ta-ta-ta-ta... the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the woods. Yang Peng woke up sensitively, and Han Bing quickly put out the bonfire, ran to a big pine tree not far away, put the arrow on the bowstring, and stared out of the woods warily.
Yang Peng found that the wounds on her body had been bandaged, and knowing that it was Han Bing who had done it, he couldn't help but glance at her back gratefully. He reluctantly stood up, walked to Han Bing, and looked outside.
Under the dim moonlight, hundreds of cavalry were vaguely seen galloping towards them. Yang Peng frowned, "We can't win. You go first and I'll hold them back!" Han Bing snorted. The team was approaching, but Yang Peng's face showed a look of surprise, and he said excitedly: "It's one of our own!" Then he shouted: "Hey! I'm here!"
The hundreds of cavalrymen heard the shouts in the woods and immediately sped up and ran over. When they came to Chen Xiao, they all got off their horses. The two leading knights knelt down to Yang Peng in great excitement and said, "Brother, we thought..." These two people were none other than Zhou Dayong and Cheng Shijie. After the two of them were separated from Yang Peng, they fought fiercely with the Liao pursuers and finally got rid of the Liao pursuers. In fact, the main reason why they were able to get rid of the Liao pursuers was because the Liao army was pursuing Yang Peng with all their strength, so they were not too concerned about them. This gave them a chance to finally get rid of the Liao pursuers.
Yang Peng accidentally touched the wound, with a look of pain on his face. Only then did Zhou Dayong and Cheng Shijie realize that Yang Peng was seriously injured. They were surprised and quickly helped Yang Peng sit down. Zhou Dayong asked anxiously: "Brother, are you injured?" Yang Peng nodded, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter." He glanced at Han Bing, who was standing silently in the distance, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Miss Han Bing. !”
Only then did Zhou Dayong and Cheng Shijie realize that there was another person, and she was a beautiful woman with a very handsome appearance. They quickly clasped their fists towards her and said, "Thank you for your help, girl!" Han Bing said coldly, "He owes me a debt. Of course I can't let him die easily!" Zhou Dayong and Cheng Shijie were greatly surprised.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
